I unpack the tarball and get only the libflashplayer.so and a usr/ folder. No instructions. The Adobe site says run an install script, but there isn't any. How do I install it manually or is there a download that will work as advertised.

I was thinking of sending you a PM earlier, but I may as well ask you here in this related topic.

I was using Parted Magic / GParted over this weekend to recover an external HD, and that recovery took a very long time. So while I was waiting, I used Firefox to do some things, and at one stage tried to install Flash Player for Linux.

I failed miserably! There are no clear instructions anywhere on the web for Linux newbies how to get Flash Player successfully installed.

Could you have one of your Linux specialists write a FAQ entry with details how to install FP on Linux?

I might have a go at updating Chrome then and see what happens. I was using Chrome as an example, as I still have to get Firefox updated too. The lack of instructions on the tarball are still a problem. Ho hum.
